Bold colours rise above the tundra, shaped by Inuit vision from Quebec City. These energy-wise homes overlook Frobisher Bay with quiet dignity—public housing built for resilience, yet outpaced by the urgent hope of those still waiting. A promise of shelter, rooted in place and purpose.

Yes they still do this-
they use a tin can with both ends open and hold it over water coming out of a fire hydrant, which allows you to shoot streams into the air

Out with the Enchanted Lens Camera Club (ELCC) Photo Marauders! A large group of Marauders walked an architectural and street shoot downtown starting and finishing at Lindy’s Diner where we partook of worldclass diner fare afterwards… A day after some rain, it appears Rob is carefully looking for and studying possible photo opportunities in a puddle - of course!
Have you heard this parable?
A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups -porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, theprofessor said:
"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have.
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
And enjoy your hot chocolate!

In 1819, Sir Thomas Raffles negotiated a treaty whereby Johor allowed the British to locate a trading port on the island. The Sultan of Johor is the sovereign ruler of the Malaysian state of Johor. It all was leading to the establishment of the British colony of Singapore in 1819. The port was strategically located along the main trade route between India and China. Singapore became an independent republic in 1965. Nowadays the country has become one of the world's most prosperous nations, with a highly developed free market economy and strong international trading links. Tourism in Singapore is a major industry and is the 5th most visited city in the world. Along with this, it also has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Public transport is easy when visiting Singapore. This includes the well-known Mass Rapid Transit system. MRT trains are fully automated without driver! Singapore is a green and clean city. It is also full of natural attractions and cultural heritage sites, from botanic gardens and nature parks to temples and museums. At 36 metres above ground, the Henderson Waves bridge is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. The best way to explore the bridge is as part of the Southern Ridges Walk, a five-kilometer hiking trail that takes you through three major parks. The Henderson Waves connects two parks with each other. Aside from being able to observe a rich variety of tropical flora and fauna, a walk on the Ridges and Mount Faber also affords you some stunning views of the island. With 6 sky towers Reflections at Keppel Bay is a true icon of modern architecture. Lush jungle is broken up with amazing buildings bending down. World-class waterfront living at its finest.
The best way to explore the bridge is as part of the Southern Ridges Walk, a five-kilometer hiking trail that takes you through three major parks: Kent Ridge Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park. Lush jungle is broken up with a seriously creative twist in the fantastic form of the Henderson Waves bridge. True to its name, the bridge mimics the undulating shape of a wave, curving and twisting along its entire 274-metre length. Photo of Samantha on the Henderson Waves. In the background the 6 sky towers of "Reflections at Keppel Bay" rising above the lush jungle. A true icon of modern architecture.
In 1819 onderhandelde Sir Thomas Raffles over een verdrag waarbij Johor de Britten toestond een handelshaven op het eiland te vestigen. De Sultan van Johor is de soevereine heerser van de Maleisische staat Johor. Het leidde allemaal tot de oprichting van de Britse kolonie Singapore in 1819. De haven was strategisch gelegen langs de belangrijkste handelsroute tussen India en China. Singapore werd in 1965 een onafhankelijke republiek. Tegenwoordig is het land één van de meest welvarende landen ter wereld geworden, met een hoog ontwikkelde vrije markteconomie en sterke internationale handelsbanden. Toerisme in Singapore is een belangrijke industrie en is de 5e meest bezochte stad ter wereld. Daarnaast heeft het ook één van 's werelds laagste misdaadcijfers. Openbaar vervoer is eenvoudig tijdens een bezoek aan Singapore. MRT-treinen zijn volledig geautomatiseerd zonder machinist ! Singapore is een groene en schone stad. Het staat ook vol met natuurlijke attracties en culturele erfgoedsites, van botanische tuinen en natuurparken tot tempels en musea. Op 36 meter boven de grond is de 274 meter lange Henderson Waves-brug de hoogste voetgangersbrug in Singapore. De beste manier om de brug te verkennen is als onderdeel van de Southern Ridges Walk, een vijf kilometer lange wandelroute die je door drie grote parken voert. De Henderson Waves verbindt twee parken met elkaar. Afgezien van een rijke verscheidenheid aan tropische flora en fauna, biedt een wandeling over de Ridges en Mount Faber ook een prachtig uitzicht over het Singapore. Met 6 wolkenkrabbers Reflections at Keppel Bay is echt icoon van moderne architectuur. Weelderige jungle wordt verbroken met verbluffende gebogen gebouwen. Bijzonder wonen aan het water en tussen het groen. Foto van Samantha op de Henderson Waves.

If it's getting cold and snowy in the northern parts of Switzerland, the Ticino south of Gotthard - the area over wich storms break - offers some of the finest gneisclimbing one can imagine. This one was taken in Cresciano, an area also well known for it's worldclass boulder problems. Urs Etzensperger gives a try on the stunning rooflip climb of Full optional, a superb 8a+ .

Architect Daniel Libeskind has completed a family of curved towers beside Keppel bay in Singapore. Alternating between 24 and 41 storeys-high, the six glazed residential towers feature rooftop gardens and are connected to one another by elevated bridges.
